May not fit your situation and needs, esp. I would prefer to have more control and choices as to where and when to exchange the money rather than leaving it to the very last minute wasting the precious time which should have been spent on sightseeing looking for an ATM risking having a bad exchange rate and no matter what you are forced to exchange the Euro. In addition, you need to find an ATM in a city you are not familiar with. Who knows what will happen to the exchange rates after three, four months? What if on that particular day when you arrive in Paris USD suddenly drops a lot?

Yes, some US banks do charge fees and some do not depends on the bank and depends on the type/level of your account. I get the same rate whichever of my bank's ATM cards I use.
